What to do if your nose is itchy due to allergies? There are methods for allergic rhinitis

The most common cause of nasal itching is allergic rhinitis. There are many methods to treat allergic rhinitis. You should choose the one that suits you. You should also stay away from allergens, especially in spring when some pollens can easily induce allergies. You should also avoid eating raw, cold, and irritating foods.

1. What to do if your nose is itchy due to allergies

1. Immunotherapy: also known as desensitization therapy, it uses the found allergens to make desensitization infusion, which is injected in small and increasing amounts to make the body resistant to the allergens. However, allergens are usually variable, and the drug ingredients in injection treatments need to be constantly improved to meet the needs of various allergens, and they cannot achieve long-term desensitization effects.

2. Reduce the sensitivity of nasal mucosa: cryotherapy, laser, 20% silver nitrate cauterization, etc. of the inferior turbinate mucosa, but it will cause irresistible damage to the nasal mucosa.

3. Reduce the excitability of parasympathetic nerves: Sectioning of the pterygoid nerve or the greater superficial petrosal nerve can reduce the excitability of the intranasal parasympathetic nerves and produce a certain therapeutic effect, but it is easy to affect the transmission of intranasal nerves.

4. Surgical treatment: It is only suitable for those who suffer from breathing problems due to structural abnormalities, such as deviated nasal septum, thickened nasal concha, polyps, etc., and surgery is generally risky.

5. Nasal inhalation method: Take 10g of calcined fish brain stone and 3g of borneol, grind them into powder and mix them evenly. Take a small amount and inhale it into the nostrils, 3 times per nostril a day, alternating between use. If your nose is dry, apply a little sesame oil and then inhale. Over time, it will cause nasal discomfort in patients, and if you do not pay attention to the strength of inhalation, it will easily enter the throat cavity.

6. Nasal plugging method: Apply 1% goosegrass nasal solution mixed with 10% vaseline ointment on gauze strips, and place one strip in each nostril for about 15 to 20 minutes. However, this method takes too long to take effect, and if the gauze is not cleaned properly, it is more likely to cause bacterial invasion in the nasal cavity.

2. Allergic rhinitis should pay attention to the following in daily life:

1. People with nasal allergies should avoid allergens such as pollen, household dust mites, blankets or animal dander.

2. Eat less cold or icy foods. Such as cold drinks, ice cream, cola, cold fruits, bitter gourd, cabbage, etc.

3. Do not stay in the air-conditioned environment for too long, and do not use an electric fan to blow directly on you.

4. In cold weather, after getting up in the morning, you can massage the Yingxiang point with your hands until it becomes warm, then drink a cup of warm water, and keep warm when going out.

5. Clean your nasal cavity with warm water.
